What is TOUGEN ANKI about?
Yen Press publishes the English version of TOUGEN ANKI, a standout manga series written and illustrated by Yura Urushibara. Serialized in Akita Shoten's Weekly Shonen Champion since June 2020, the title has built a strong fanbase thanks to its gritty mix of supernatural action and coming-of-age drama set against urban backdrops. Drawing from the traditional Momotaro legend, it reimagines the tale by centering on the Oni descendants as protagonists in a fierce, modern-day feud. Yen Press provided a story description for TOUGEN ANKI:
Shiki Ichinose’s blood is Oni, and his father’s is Momotarou. Normally, those with Momotarou blood hunt the Oni—but Shiki’s father refused to kill him as an infant. Instead, he adopted Shiki and raised him despite the rebellious attitude and dangerous temper that come with Oni blood. When a member of the Momotarou Agency kills Shiki’s father, Shiki vows to avenge him. But as he hones his abilities and learns to control his Oni blood, will he be strong enough to survive the dangers waiting for him…?
The Nikko Kegon Falls Arc pushes the narrative forward with new Oni Brigade members stepping into the spotlight amid escalating threats from their ancient rivals. Expect intense training sequences, powerful blood ability showcases, and shifting alliances as Shiki's quest for vengeance grows more perilous. The arc builds directly on prior events, raising the stakes for everyone involved at Rasetsu Academy and beyond.
The TOUGEN ANKI: Nikko Kegon Falls Arc anime will stream on Crunchyroll. Viewers can expect the premiere in October 2026.
